I can't see why anyone here would be interested in buying the DVD atall. Surely you know it all already, and being a film it won't be asinformative as a book and is bound to have 'rough factual edges' on itthat will just irritate you.

'Blah blah....Harry Chamberlin...blah blah....matched playbackheads....blah blah....Fransen....blah blah....Graham Bond....blahblah....Strawberry Fields....blah blah....liquidation blunder....blahblah....popular resurgence....'

What else is there to actually say about a musical instrument? Or can Icorner the market in making a film called 'I Like The Kazoo'?

Ihaven't received my copy yet, but I can already imagine beingdisappointed. How do you make a documentary about Mellotrons withoutincluding the development of the M4000/5000? Unless, of course, M&Jwouldn't let them....

Happy New Year, y'all.

 

I, too, received my copy of Mellodrama acouple of days ago.  My surprise is that so far no one has mentionedthe most glaring omission, which is the current status of Streetly andits role in the tron's resurgence in popularity and use, as wellas ignoring the development of the M4000/5000.  Contrarily, they seemto have been unfairly treated as a footnote in Mellotron history.  Iintend on asking Dianna about this during the upcoming NAMM showing.
